Welcome to the website of St Peter’s Cathedral, Adelaide.
Sunday after Trinity Sunday 26 May 2013

Instituted by Pope Gregory IX in 828AD Trinity Sunday is the only major Christian festival that celebrates a church doctrine rather than an event in its sacred history (such as Christmas, Easter and Pentecost). Perhaps because there is no specific reference to the Trinity in scripture it took years of often bitter controversy before the concept of the Holy Trinity, God as three in one and one in three, was widely accepted. There are many different symbols used to depict the Trinity including these:

Tonight Archbishop Jeffrey delivers the final in the 4-part Evensong lecture series on Luke Acts, and will focus on the idea of the Gospel going to the ends of the earth. It has been good to have had our archbishop in the cathedral in one of the important roles of a bishop – that of teacher. Podcasts of all four lectures can be listened to. Go to http://www.stpeters-cathedral.org.au/ and the ‘Sermons’ section on the left of the front page.
Welcome to all as we gather today in the name of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are warmly invited to join us as we seek to follow the God who loves us and calls us to abundant life.
The Cathedral building is a landmark in the City of Adelaide, an important part of the city’s heritage. However, the Cathedral is much more than a beautiful historic building. It is also the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide and home to a dynamic and inclusive sacramental community, which cherishes excellent liturgy, music and preaching
The Cathedral community values diversity and intellectual freedom. It includes people who travel from all over Adelaide to share in Cathedral life. We are all ages, from babies to octogenarians, and from many different backgrounds. We seek to grow in faith, to reflect God’s beauty and grace in our life together and to serve the wider community. As you will see from this website, all sorts of activities take place in Cathedral life.
